What do you think?

Spiritual source of witchcraft in whatever form is not the genuine source of God's power. Since it's counterfiet, it's not good. Members of the Mafia sometimes give large sums of money toward the end of their life to try to make up for all the evil they did, but that doesn't make their money suddenly "clean".

Answer 2

Everyone has some psychic abilities, you can't gain them, only improve the ones you have. Witchcraft, Wicca, and other Pagan practices do not involve Satanic rites. None of the above are sinful in any way. Now to worship Satan, or practice what some call the dark arts, if you are a Christian would be a sin. Now if anything you do harms another or some other being, that is a negative to man's laws as well as universal laws of Karma. Remember whatever you do good or bad, can come back to you 10 fold.

Answer 3

Thank you Lucy, Efreb Tian_mon & Raven's Voice for having sensible answers. "Hell" is a relatively modern concept utilized by those "believers" in order to control others. I am afraid your scare tactics have no effect on us because we do not believe in the devil or in hell. I follow the ancient practice of the old ones, that is, the ones who preceded Jesus. I am a hedge witch, not a Wiccan. And I do not know of anyone who practices witchcraft who would do it for evil purposes. Many of is are mid-wives and herbalists. You probably have great faith in medical doctors of today. WE are the doctors of the past and virtually all the medicines that you use are based in some sort of herbal knowledge. Example Aspirin is made from willow bark. Guess who figured that one out? I can tell you it was not Jesus or one of his followers because that knowledge pre-dates Jesus! How about the Valium many of you need to calm your nerves? Valerian. Digitalis for your heart? Foxglove.
So in answer to your question it is simply NO. we certainly can't go to a place that does not exist.
But I do have a question for you. Why is it that we can accept you and not criticize your beliefs but you cannot do the same in return?

Answer 4

Changes are if they are practicing witchcraft, they are not a Christian and do not believe in hell. So no, people who practice witchcraft do not go to hell. Most are Pagans so they will go to Summerland (for example if they are Wiccans).

(Besides "hell" is just a cheap rip off of Hel anyways.)


P.S. Witchcraft does not = Satan worship!

Answer 5

No. There is no hell for Witches. Hell belongs to those that believe in the One god.
Of course you believers wont go there either. you just need to repent before you pass over.
The bible and quran both say Suffer not the witches and it tells you we will go to hell. So you don't switch beliefs and follow our path.
But. We do not believe in your god.
Some of us know who Yahweh really was. Some of us know the truth about the books you follow. That is why we look on you with love and tender hearts. That is why we offer you only open hands and do you no harm. Not because your path is right, but because we know where your spirits end up.

"Cry good children of the earth for you will once again be alone.
Those that are of the one god will go to him and be lost to us. Our friends and family will join him and we will shed tears, for the truth will be known to them. Weep for the lost."

Answer 6

Honestly,I think they do because Satan wants to make it used to do good and to look good.So,he can draw more people into it.Satan's trying to get everyone he can.Because he knows he's already defeated and his time is short.I'm a christian.And this is what i believe.If you want more help on this topic.Read a Bible.It tells you plain out not to mess with witchcraft and anything that has to do with it.It's an abonination to our Lord.Believe me when i say The Lord can do for you much more than that of anything in the world and powers of darkness.I study this stuff.God loves you.Satan doesn't he's just here to kill,steal&Lie.No withcraft is good.I know a few people who have been in it.But,have turned there lives around for God.

Answer 7

Ignore the bullshit coming from some here.
You wont go to hell for practicing any magik.
Its a load of crap. IF you did then everyone who lived before about 500 CE and practiced this would go to Hell.
Christians used to use magik in their ceremonies you know. It wasnt until the control freaks got hold of the church that it want aloud and suddenly you went to Hell for it.

Answer 8

De 18:10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

2Ch 33:6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

Mic 5:12
I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells.
____________________________
To avoid going to hell we must repent of our sins (and practicing witchcraft is a sin) and believe that Jesus is the Savior.

Answer 10

Do the spectators at a football game have penalties called on them by the referees?

Of course not.

He's YOUR "God",
They're YOUR rules
YOU burn in "Hell"

I'm not playing.

It's really pretty much that simple - if you're a tennis player, you play by the rules of tennis, not football. Any penalties you incur are from violating the rules of tennis, not football.
